Main

Aaron Miles

I am passionate about putting data into use. Whether by creating a model for a machine to action against, or a dashboard enabling a coworker to better understand something; my ultimate goal is to help get the most out of existing data. I have experience in all phases of the data science cycle, from scraping data from the web, to putting packaged applications into production. Hard problems are my favorite because they give me the opportunity to deeply think through issues and processes and address them in ways no one has yet thought of.
